Really, I've been running a successful commercial web site for the last 4 years using Tomcat as a standalone web server and servlet container using exactly this solution. 1000 concurrent sessions pose no problem I mentioned this in my first post, sorry if you missed it. > 1) Obviously, if you were expecting systemd to solve that problem, you > were wrong and it is a sane behavir of systemd to not allow that > neither No, you misunderstood.

What is the default port for non.-encrypted http traffic to a web server? Anyway, I see no reason to start a slanging match, I have better things to do. It's all working quite nicely now anyway, thank you for your input. To learn about jsvc see http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/jsvc.html You'll need an up to date ANSI C compiler (I use gcc) Lyallex > > Regards, > ----------------- > Daniel Savard > > > 2016-03-19 12:10 GMT-04:00 Lyallex <lyal...@gmail.com>: >> It's the simplest way to find out which port you have Tomcat listening on >> >> *NIX based systems don't allow non root uses bind to ports < 1024 >> >> jsvc >> http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/jsvc.html >> >> solves this problem, nobody seems to have grasped that this is what I >> was asking about. >> I know of no way to start the container, on port 80 using either >> startup.sh or catalina.sh using start, run or anything else. >> If I'm wrong then I would love to see how it's done. >> >> CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) >> >> >> On 19 March 2016 at 13:46, Daniel Savard <daniel.sav...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Why?
